Disco Inferno recently took to Twitter to criticize AEW for poorly booking reigning TNT Champion Wardlow.

Mr. Mayhem has been on a roll since putting his greatest adversary MJF away in a memorable squash match at AEW Double or Nothing. The 34-year-old then finally redeemed himself by dethroning Scorpio Sky for the coveted TNT Championship on the July 6 episode of Dynamite.

In his first title defense on Fyter Fest Night 1 last night, The Wardog successfully retained his gold against Orange Cassidy. While the two men put on a barnburner, the bout lasted much longer than many had expected. Wardlow even showed incredible selling ability, which didn't sit well with Disco Inferno.

The WCW veteran tweeted that AEW couldn't have booked Wardlow worse, especially after the way he defeated MJF a few months ago:

"You couldn't book Wardlow worse since he beat MJF. What on earth was that??" Disco tweeted.

Cassidy was on a two-match winning streak before unsuccessfully challenging for the TNT Championship this week. The Wardog showed respect for his opponent's valiant effort and shook hands with him in the post-match.


Fans have a mixed reaction to Disco Inferno lashing out at AEW for Wardlow's booking

While Georgia fans remained electric and seemingly enjoyed the TNT title match last night, social media showcased a very mixed response.

Disco Inferno's tweet also caused a stir, with people mostly bashing Tony Khan for booking a clash between two of the top babyfaces in the company.

Check out some of the Twitter reactions below:

With the highly-anticipated All Out pay-per-view fast approaching, it will be interesting to see what the company has in store for Wardlow.

Interestingly, Sammy Guevara expressed his desire to win the TNT Championship again. If one may recall, the Spanish God was barred from challenging for the gold for as long as Scorpio Sky held the title.

Now that the stipulation is no longer in effect, fans could see a potential program between Wardlow and Guevara down the road.
